In November’s reverse fixture, Alejandro Garnacho flew into the Goodison Park air to beat Jordan Pickford with a searing scissor kick that kickstarted a 3-0 victory. On Saturday afternoon, the winger made patsies of the defenders James Tarkowski and Ben Godfrey to claim the penalties that gave Manchester United a precious three points.
The spot-kicks were scored by Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, which “they decided between themselves on the pitch”, Erik ten Hag explained.
